How it works

One clear path from briefing to active service.

The initial build has a defined sequence. Once the website is active, future changes follow one managed request process.

  1. 01

    Briefing

    You complete one detailed onboarding process so we have the information required to build.

  2. 02

    Deployment

    We build your website from a proven system and tailor it to your business.

  3. 03

    Clearance

    You review the preview and approve the final details.

  4. 04

    Active Service

    Send future changes through one simple request process. We review and publish them.

Why 556

A website should have an operating system behind it.

The difference is not another template. It is a clear structure for building, maintaining, and approving changes.

Comparison between a typical cheap website and a managed website from 556 Digital
Typical cheap website 556 Digital
Generic template Controlled, brand-specific system
Client maintains everything Managed updates
Plugin bloat Lean Astro code
Developer disappears Ongoing service
Website becomes stale Structured, maintained content
Updates buried in emails Organized update requests

Custom Systems

Some projects do not fit a template.

That is where 556 Digital goes to work. We design custom portals, ecommerce systems, integrations, automation, and software for businesses with more complex needs.

FAQ

Questions worth answering before the briefing.

The final scope and service agreement control the details. These answers explain how the current offers are intended to work.

01 What counts as a routine content change?

Routine changes generally use the website’s existing structure, such as updating provided text, hours, team information, photos, or other current page content. New pages, integrations, or functionality are reviewed and scoped separately.

02 Is there a contract?

Managed Website starts with a twelve-month initial agreement. The agreement and any terms for Managed Catalog or Custom Systems are provided for review before work begins.

03 Who owns the domain?

Domain registration and account access are reviewed during onboarding. The final agreement will state who controls the registrar account and how domain access is handled.

04 Can I update products or listings myself?

Managed Catalog includes client-friendly item management. The fields, statuses, and publishing workflow are configured around the catalog you need to maintain.

05 What happens if I cancel?

Cancellation timing, hosting, content access, and any transition details are defined in the service agreement before work begins. We can walk through those terms before you commit.

06 Does the monthly website include ecommerce?

No. Ecommerce is custom systems work and is scoped separately from the standard monthly managed website plans.

07 How quickly are updates completed?

Timing depends on the size of the request, the information provided, and whether approval is required. We confirm timing after reviewing each request rather than promising a blanket turnaround.

08 Can you replace my current website?

Yes. We can review the current website, identify what should carry forward, and determine whether Managed Website, Managed Catalog, or a custom scope is the right fit.

09 What happens if I need a custom feature?

We review the requirement first. If it falls outside the managed plan, we explain the scope and price it as separate custom work before building it.

10 Are hosting and security included?

Managed Website includes hosting and SSL. Additional security, backup, account-access, and monitoring responsibilities will be documented in the final service agreement.

Ready when you are

Your business does not need another unfinished website project.

It needs a website that gets deployed and stays current.
